MJDDawg Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If Detroit offered then and MG didn't take it, I would personally hunt him down. Then all he has to do is trade Edler for some picks/prospects. Pick up some players via free agency (10 million free from those two players and 7 million in rising cap) and BAM, re-tool done. Amen. This would be a good hockey trade. Works for Detroit as they can become a true contender with Kes, and works for us as our retool is then done in 2 to 3 years as opposed to what the Oilers and Flames are going through. Just not sure MG has the balls to pull this type of deal off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Zetterberg is out why would Detroit make a trade to try and win this year when the 1C just had surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon4401 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Zetterberg is out why would Detroit make a trade to try and win this year when the 1C just had surgery? Some people are saying that's why so they can stay in the playoff picture...I think that's a nonfactor they already said not interested in trading youth so I don't see all this youth everybody wants for Kesler or Edler is going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Zetterberg is out why would Detroit make a trade to try and win this year when the 1C just had surgery? They were never going to. Nor was Edler going to get them to win this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocanuck Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 But how many of these 'deal will be announced in x amount of days' rumours have actually happened? Your opinion* Of course its just an opinion,,,,,, is any one of us Mike Gillis in disguise on these boards? We will see and discuss it later whatever the outcomes are but this is an interesting rumor. Kesler that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaNux Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 both your trade proposals were so bad that i started second guessing my own in this thread because you said you liked my lineup. ooooooo burn, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 To Detroit: Kesler To Van: Nyquist Mantha 1st (2014) We might need to add a little, but yeah... Yep... that is a good trade, even if we didn't get the 1st round pick (just like us, their mid/late round pick is likely going to be a project at best or just a washout) or if we had to send a serviceable roster player like Hansen their way. With Detroit's scouting staff I would rather THEY make the pick and then we include whomever they choose in the trade. They would look awfully nice if you added Kesler to Datsyuk or Zetterberg's line. Kesler playing the wing with an elite playmaking centre like either of those guys would be ridiculous. Detroit doesn't do that deal to win this year as some folks have suggested, they do it because Kesler is still signed beyond this year and they would have a good chance of re-signing the hometown boy for another contract (they would get a pretty big hint in that direction if he waived his NTC to go there).

Canuck Surfer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If we're into the 'Making Ridiculous Proposals Stage', which would have to be the case to believe anything Pratt says may have some validity, then here you go: Lou Booth Hansen for Stewart Elliott Tarasenko Paajarvi 1st Lou = Elliott, Tarasenko, 1st Booth = Paajarvi Hansen = Stewart Even for a ridiculous proposal, isn't that a tad optimistic?

JeremyCuddles Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Edler, I obviously have huge bias against him but Gillis did try move him before his NTC kicked in. Although the safest bet is Tanev Can hold onto his "won't ask players to waive NTC's" ideal and make an unexpected move. But Torts has been talking him up a lot all season can't see Gillis making that move. Maybe Burr gets his walking papers. Or even Hansen but that seems like a pretty small move at best. No prospect moves in my opinion unless he is desperate for playoff hockey to hold onto his job. That includes Kassian in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It may really be Kes. Someone suggested Philly and I think that would actually be a good fit for him. They signed him to an offer-sheet years ago. Philly has some pieces that would be good for the Canucks too. If the Canucks deal a top 4 D, what are the odds that the Canucks acquire the Schenn brothers for Kes? Luke Schenn would add a lot of physicality to our D but I'm not sure if his skating ability would make him a good fit for Torts' style. Also, if Couturier and Brayden Schenn are both available and I could only pick one, I'm not sure who I would pick. I'm also not sure you could go wrong with either guy but I am inclined to go with Couturier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Kes to Philly as the one that makes the most sense........and Edler to Det as well, though I'm not sure Holland will make a big move with Zetterberg out for so long.

Light Bearer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 MG isn't trading Kes anywhere. If we do have a big trade in the works it would be for one of our D. The NTC blocks MG from moving Kes unless he has actually requested a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Kesler + Hansen + Jensen + 2nd for Couturier + Voracek Jensen has no room on the team as a RW if we have Voracek, Kassian, and Higgins/Burrows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is better: Kes, Juice, Diaz(Philly has no righty's after Schenn). Schenn bros, Simmonds, 2015 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
